We’re having a contest. For this contest head over to MTG Cardsmith and create a card. The only rules for this contest are if you use pre-existing artwork please give proper credit in your e-mail entry. Also try to balance your cards. We want the cards being submitted to feel like something Wizards of The Coast would actually print. For example don’t make a 20/20 creature with haste and lifelink and have it only cost one mana.

Once you create your card save it to your computer and e-mail it to us. Send all entries to onthestackshow@gmail.com and put Contest in the subject line. Give us a little information about your card and if you used other artwork please say so in your e-mail. For example if you use a picture of Captain America just say that Captain America is property of Marvel. We will be accepting entries until May 12th. prizes will be given for 1st and 2nd place.

Mark on Twitter – “Hey guys, do you know if I can use a Desert Twister to destroy a card with protection from green? Also, can direct damage counters hit through in that same situation? Thorn Thallid. It’s a green creature that gets spore counters each turn, and 3 counters can be exchanged to deal 1 damage directly.”

The answer to both questions is no since the Desert Twister and the damage from the Thorn Thallid are green they won’t work on a creature with protection from green.

I got a Deck Builder’s toolkit today. Here is a short video review of the toolkit. These are a great value for new and returning players to Magic The Gathering. You get enough cards to make a couple decks with as well as four booster packs as well as a box to store your cards and decks.
